Ok the 3 days ago when in reverse it popped out of gear, the engine stablieser bush's (top) are worn and am awaiting new rover one piece rubbers, hopfully this will cure it, as there is quite bit of movment on the engine.

It was not hard to engage into gear or had any incling of any fault other than...it just decided to pop out 3 days ago

So failing this fix, what else could it be

Any info would be great, one for Guessworks me thinks

Thanks

my top bushes recently went and it was very jerky and juddering due to engine movement but didn't jump out of gear.
i hope you're right though or that it isn't anything serious bud'!

Cheers Fraggle, i hope its nothing bad....dont sound like it...its ok if i reverse slowly

Bump...but just tagged wrong number...soz

Ok changed the bush's and it still pops out of reverse if i give it some beans

Woiuld weak engine mounts cause this to happen too ?

everything i can find about this kind of problem indicates to gearbox issues...eek, not a nice thought
but recon boxes can be bought for £250 off fleabay.
